Local Farm Dump finds.

[KBbottles]

Some pics from today. Not too much. I have never seen this milk before and if anyone has any info on it that would be great. I also found this heavily rusted iron tractor toy with driver at the bottom layer of the dump i dug extensively last summer. It is probably far too rusted to clean well, but really neat. Has anyone come accross anything like this before?

Finds:

Milk - Farmers Exchange Co. Belle Mead, N.J.
ABM Beer - Jacob Ruppert Brewer New York
Ely's Cream Balm
Tractor Toy
Mini pitcher with "here is my regards"
Cowbell?

Great tractor, the bell looks like a crotal bell (sleigh bell) What size is that thing and are there any numbers or letters on it?

Thanks! I found two of these with a bunch or metal buttons but only took one home for now. I know where the others are lol. It is about 2 and 3/8 inches and heavy. Still has the ball in it and rings. Bae of bell has an H and a B on each end of the opening with that pattern on it that you can sort of see. Were these worn by an animal or used as an instrument? Or did this dump secretly belong to Santa? []

Found a comparison for the tractor. It appears to be 1920s. Not as old as i thought.
